We are delighted to present the Frontiers in Oncology "Women in Breast Cancer” Volume II series of article collections. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Ziel dieses Buchs ist es, die besonderen Belange alter Patienten mit Krebserkrankungen bei der Diagnosestellung, Versorgung und Therapie zusammenzufassen. Für Situationen, in denen ein standardisiertes onkologisches Vorgehen nicht angemessen scheint, erhalten behandelnde Ärzte einen fundierten Überblick über das aktuell verfügbare Wissen, um sicher den Mittelweg zwischen Über- und Unterdiagnostik sowie Über- und Untertherapie zu finden.Die Herausgeber und Autoren legen mit diesem Werk einen praktischen und umfassenden Handlungsleitfaden vor, der keine Frage offen lässt. Angesprochen sind Onkologen, niedergelassene Spezialisten, in Rehabilitationseinrichtungen Tätige sowie Hausärzte und Geriater.
Neue Wege im Kampf gegen den Brustkrebs Substanzen, die Eigenschaften oder Signalwege von Tumorzellen gezielt blockieren („targeted therapies“), ermöglichen neue und viel versprechende Behandlungsoptionen bei Krebs. Zunehmend stehen diese zielgerichteten Medikamente (z.B. monoklonale Antikörper, „small molecules“) auch zur Behandlung des frühen und fortgeschrittenen Mammakarzinoms zur Verfügung. Sie sind äußerst wirksam und bieten neue Chancen, bringen aber auch Fragestellungen im klinischen Alltag mit sich: Ihr optimaler Einsatz muss hinsichtlich Zeitpunkt, Dauer und Kombinationspräparaten definiert werden. Bisher unbekannte Nebenwirkungen und mögliche Wechselwirkungen mit a...
Inicialmente pensada para ser uma composição nacional, a coleção se expandiu e, além de autores das cinco regiões brasileiras, conta também com autores de outras nacionalidades, caracterizando-a, portanto, como internacional. Sinaliza-se ainda, seu enfoque multidisciplinar, uma vez que, os distintos autores possuem níveis e formações bastante distintas na área das ciências da saúde. Frente à robustez desta coleção, esperasse que tanto discentes/universitários, quanto profissionais vinculados as Ciências da Saúde se beneficiem dela. E, para além disso, cumprindo os preceitos da Ciência Aberta, tem-se a intenção, de que esse material ao ser disponibilizado como E-book, possa também ser acessado por toda a população que interessa por essa área e por estudos relevantes, nos mais distintos lugares do Brasil e do mundo. Os dois volumes desta obra foram organizados com base em cinco grandes eixos das Ciências da Saúde, a saber: Laboratório; Saúde coletiva; Atenção hospitalar; Gestão; e outros assuntos.
Treatment strategies for breast cancer are wide-ranging and often based on a multi-modality approach, depending on the stage and biology of the tumour and the acceptance and tolerance of the patient. They may include surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy (endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy). Advances in technologies such as oncoplastic surgery, radiation planning and delivery, and genomics, and the development of novel systemic therapy agents alongside their evaluation in ongoing clinical trials continue to strive for improvements in outcomes. In this Special Issue, we publish a collection of studies looking at all forms of therapeutic strategies for early and advanced breast cancer, focusing on their outcomes, notably survival.
Foreword from the Editors: The start of October marks the commencement of Breast Cancer Awareness month, an annual month-long event to raise awareness and express support for those that have been affected by breast cancer in one way or another. Thanks to the incredible work and efforts by the scientific community, we have greatly enhanced our ability to detect breast cancer in its earliest stages, and have been able to develop simple routine screening techniques to ensure that everyone, even those in areas where resources are scarce, can identify early signs of a tumor forming. Our ability to treat breast cancer has greatly improved, becoming more sophisticated and precise. The advent of sta...
Junge Menschen stehen mit der Diagnose einer lebensbedrohlichen Erkrankung vor endlosen Fragen, Herausforderungen und Ängsten. Freundeskreis, Familie und medizinisches System versuchen in dieser Situation den Bedürfnissen und Nöten der Betroffenen adäquat zu begegnen. Doch das Netz dieser Unterstützung ist nicht für alle Erkrankten tragfähig und gut gemeinte Angebote werden nicht von allen Betroffenen angenommen. Dabei scheint der Umgang mit Nähe und Distanz sowohl in der Konzeption von Unterstützungssystemen als auch im zwischenmenschlichen Kontakt von Helfenden und Hilfeempfangenden eine maßgebliche Rolle zu spielen, ob ein Angebot von Menschen genutzt wird, oder nicht. Die vorli...
Otto Hüther and Georg Krücken analyze the developments of the last 20 years in their new book on German higher education. The foreign observer of German higher education, even the informed foreign observer, struggles to find denominators, not to mention common denominators of a bewildering array of approaches. Otto Hüther and Georg Krücken, in this book, do an absolutely splendid job of offering theoretical perspectives, qualitative and quantitative data, and comparative assessments This book discusses the main higher education structures in Germany, both conceptually and with a particular emphasis on recent developments like, e.g., the growth and differentiation of the system, governanc...
